Last weekend saw ten Heanor RC members return for the second-successive year to the Spanish city of Valencia for the annual club trip abroad. A tradition that started back in 2003 in Prague – and that has taken in such places as Lisbon, Berlin, Torremolinos and Antwerp since – the 2014 trip proved to be […]
An action-packed weekend for Heanor RC saw a huge seventeen-strong turnout, race winners and a multitude of personal bests at the Shelton Striders 10k, a 56th-place finish for the senior men at the ERRA National 6 Stage Road Relays and another Midland Masters title for Louise Insley at the Rugby 10 Mile event. Stuart King […]
Such are the high expectations at the club these days, it wasn’t quite “seventh-heaven” for the club’s “A” teams at the Midland 6 & 4 Stage Road Relays at the weekend. Following respective fourth and sixth-place finishes for the men and women at the annual regional relay event twelve months ago, the teams couldn’t quite […]
This Saturday sees the return of one of the highlights on the club racing calendar as the Midland 6 & 4 Stage Road Relays take place at Sutton Park, Birmingham. The annual event attracts some of the best runners in the area as teams aim to qualify among the top-25 for the National event that […]
Congratulations and a big shout-out to HRC’s Lisa Palmer and Louise Insley, who have both received regional call-ups for this weekend’s Wilne 10k incorp.

Dale Annable and Lisa Palmer took the victories at the Tara Kinder 10k on Friday night as a total of fifteen Heanor RC runners competed in the humid conditions among the 415 that finished the popular race. The race was the fifth of eight in the 2014 Run Derby series and Dale enjoyed a comfortable […]
A second relay event inside eight days brought out another army of HRC runners as ten teams enjoyed a successful outing at the well-organised Belper Harriers-hosted Derwent River Relays. Despite not being part of the 2014 Club Championship, positive past experience of the event ensured a strong yellow and blue turnout just a week on […]
Elvaston Castle & Country Park was the venue once again for the Sinfin RC-hosted Sinfin Classic 10k as fourteen Heanor RC runners toed the line in the latest Club Championship event. The race made a welcome return to the HRC calendar of events following an absence of a few years and conditions were warm for […]
After doing something unpleasant to my right calf at the Ilkeston BDL, it was with more than the usual pre-race trepidation that I waited, along with Jo Potter and Ed Godber, for the starter’s horn. Happiest running on days that fall between 7 and 10 degrees C, the expected temperatures reaching the early 20s was […]
Two personal bests, two debutantes and a DNF were the order of the day for Heanor Running Club at the London Marathon last weekend as Rose Leivers, Carl Hughes, Lee Perkins, Marie Mann and Dale Annable tackled the 26.2 mile distance alongside 36,000 others in the UK’s capital. Just half-an-hour before the masses got underway, […]
